Episode 36: Lizzie Borden
Lizzie Borden. The name has been etched into the American consciousness through countless books, movies, even a heavy metal band and a haunting and disturbing children’s rhyme which you can hear on playgrounds to this day.
She was the first, modern American Psycho, a woman of class and privilege who caved her parent’s heads in with an axe.
Theories over her innocence or guilt, as well as the vicious and brutal murders themselves, abound, titillating tales of lesbian affairs, incestual sex, and bloody killings committed in the nude.
Today, ladies and gentlemen, we break it all down for you: the strange Borden family, their weird house, the details of the gruesome murder and all the wild conspiracy theories explored and explained.
So, buckle up into the murder coaster, for off we go, with the tale of Lizzie Borden.
